WINDOW-GUARD.

Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented heb. 26, wie.

Application filed January 13, 1916. Serial No. 71,905.

To all whom z'zf may concern.'

Be it known that I, CASPER KUHN, a citizen of the United States,residing at Carlstadt, in the county of Bergen and State oi New Jersey,have invented certain new and useful Improvements in lVindow-Guards, ofwhich the following is a specification, referenee being had therein tothe accompanying drawing.

My invention relates to improvements in window guards or safetyappliances, and

more particularly has reference to a device or attachment adapted foruse in an open window such as the window of a home where children areapt to climb out or where a person is apt to fall through in` hangingclothes, and has for its object to provide a simple form ot deviceadapted to be fitted and removed conveniently `to prevent such accident.

Referring to the accompanying drawings, Figure 1 illustrates inperspective the window casing and frame showing an application of myinvention, and Fig. 2 a cross section on the line 5-5 of Fig. l.

It will be seen that within the guideway 6 of the window frame 7 may beintroduced uprights such as 8, one in each side. These uprights areprovided with bars or tubes such as 9-10. the bar 9 being adapted toslide within the tube l0 so that the same may be introduced into thewindow and spread out into the guideways 6 thereof. The bar 9 is alsopreferably provided with a cut away portion or recess into which a ringsuch as 1l may be seated, said ring being adjacent the end of the tube10 as shown and of sutcient diameter to receive the shackle oi thepadlock 12 to retain said ring within said cutaway portion. From whichit will be seen that after the guard has been placed in position it maybe securely looked to prevent being shifted. When it is desired to takethe guard out of the window, the lock is merely removed from the ring 11which allows the ring to slide lelftwardly over the bar 9 and allows thebar 9 to be telescoped into the tube 10 so that the guard may be readilywithdrawn.

l claim-- Y In a window guard, a pair of uprights adapted to fit withinthe casing-of a window, one of said uprights having rods eX- tendinglaterally therefrom, the other oi said uprights having tubes extendinglater ally therefrom and over the 'free ends oit said rods, a recess inone of said rods, a
